Configuration utility UM1990
16/27 DocID028662 Rev 2
4.2 Features supported
The configuration utility provides following features:

Node registration: is used to introduce new nodes in the system. The Wireless
Bridge gateway uploads the sensor data to the CloudBridge server. To upload this
data, write keys from the CloudBridge system must sent with every request. Similarly,
the gateway occasionally reads the sensor threshold data from the server. For
reading, data read API keys are required. Each node has dedicated data. These
streams and keys must be created on the CloudBridge account associated with the
Wireless Bridge and the keys must be programmed in the Wireless Bridge to allow it
to communicate with the CloudBridge platform. The Wireless Bridge Configuration
utility automates this process. The automatic generation of new channels for the new
code along with generation and subsequent programming of new keys is called node
registration.

Wi-Fi Settings: allows reading and writing SSID and Wi-Fi passwords from the
Wireless Bridge.

Debug Interface: in this mode, the utility enables trace mode and shows all the traces
received from the Gateway to help in debugging/diagnostics.

Firmware Upgrade: this feature shall be supported in future versions of the Wireless
Bridge and the Configuration Utility and will allow the updating of the primary Gateway
firmware or the firmware of various subsystems.
